If you live somewhere where you can't find instruction, or simply don't want to go the route of trying to find one, this is a wonderful way to learn. Trying to learn from books is difficult; insight meditation is really a very simple thing, but without someone to 'tell' you about it, there always seems to be a nagging doubt about whether you're doing it correctly. This video really opened our eyes about the practice, along with providing Jack Kornfield's usual excellent advice about spiritual practice in general.

The title of this review tells it all. Jack Kornfield explains and exhibits the essence of the purpose of meditation. His stories and explanations make things "click". I feel like this is the starting point of a major...maybe the major progression...in my ability to manifest the power inherent in meditative exercises. It's a lot to say about a video, I know. I'm sure glad I came across this video. I checked it out at the local library. Now I'm going to buy it and use it everyday and share it with others.

I run relaxation groups. I have utilized this video to
teach meditation. Groups members love Dr. Kornfield and
truly learn from him.
I have been meditating for many years and find that I
have learned new techniques from Dr. Kornfield. He has
made my job much easier

I really enjoyed these CD's. A very easy way to learn meditation. Doctor Kornfield has a very relazed way of teaching meditation and makes you want to try meditation. He teaches the basis of meditation in a very informative way and non-boring. I am just a beginner to meditation and finding that this series of CD's are well worth the money I paid. I will definitely play these CD's over and over again. I highly recommend.

I really enjoy the way Jack Kornfield approaches meditation and makes it easy for us to understand. His voice is very calming. I like the guided meditations coupled with explanations of why and how to meditate.

I had this set of cassettes out from the library - following a 12 week course in the course of 14 days, I had to do one week a day.

I found myself excited to go home & sit on my cushion & examine my mind.

I was already quite familiar with meditation when I got this, this is what jumpstarted my practice into a regular practice that has stuck now 10 years later...

Very good way to learn meditation or, specifically, Vipassana meditation. An experienced Zen meditator, I wanted to learn Vipassana, so my teacher suggested I look for CDs by Jack Kornfield. This is an excellent set which can be listened to once a week, with practice in between, just as the workshop was originally given. Each class session includes a meditation period where you use what he has been talking about. Jack Kornfield is clear, funny, and compassionate - a really good teacher.

I suffer from insomnia like CRAZY, this meditation is great for the beginner. I love how he says traning the mind is like traning a puppy. When you say sit or stay the puppy gets up and walks away, much like the mind. This book helps me meditate, and often I listen to the tapes and fall asleap durring the meditation.

If you are new to meditation this is a must have for anyone taking the first step. It answers all the questions you may have, as well as serving as a guide for this lifelong journey.

it was by chance that i discovered my first jack kornfield's cd for meditation.

since then i have been talking about him to everyone.......

anyway, i just ordered this second 6 / 7 cd set, expecting it to get here in anout 4 to 6 weeks.

it came in 5 days.

when you meditate with JK, the force is with you

way to go man
